Liputan6.com, Jakarta Bad news has once again engulfed the NFL world after Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a serious injury.

Quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a toe injury on Sunday, which sidelined him for most of the team's Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Now, it appears Burrow could be out for up to three months with the severity of the toe injury.

The toe injury, known as grade 3 turf toe, occurred in a crucial game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 14, 2025.

This incident has the potential to seriously derail the Bengals' 2025 season.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Burrow is feared to have suffered a Grade 3 turf toe injury that would require surgery and sideline him until at least December.

Following the incident, Burrow was seen requiring assistance from medical staff to walk to the locker room, using a walking boot and crutches.

Initially, his status was declared questionable to return, but he was officially ruled out of the remainder of the game shortly thereafter.

The injury will require surgery, and the estimated recovery time is at least three months.

This means Joe Burrow will likely miss nearly half of the 2025 NFL season, a significant loss for the Cincinnati Bengals, who rely on his leadership.

Immediately after Burrow was injured, the Bengals dropped from +2500 to +3500 to win the Super Bowl in the 2025 season, and those odds have fallen even further at DraftKings Sportsbook.

This toe injury isn't the first time Joe Burrow has been sidelined.

Throughout his NFL career, Burrow has had a long and worrisome history of significant injuries.

In 2020, he suffered torn ACL, MCL, and PCL, ending his rookie season.

The 2023 season wasn't smooth sailing for him either, with another wrist injury ending his season early.

Even during the 2023 training camp, Burrow suffered a calf injury that limited his preparation.

Joseph Lee Burrow, born on December 10, 1996, in Ames, Iowa, USA, is one of the most talented quarterbacks in the NFL today.

After a stellar college career with the Ohio State Buckeyes and LSU Tigers, he was selected first overall by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2020 NFL Draft.

During his time at LSU, Burrow won the Heisman Trophy and the College Football Playoff National Championship in 2019.

He also broke the NCAA FBS record for touchdown passes (60) and the SEC record for passing yards (5,671) in his senior season, showcasing his dominance at the college level.

In the NFL, Joe Burrow led the Bengals to their first Super Bowl appearance since 1989 in 2022.

He also won the AP Comeback Player of the Year award twice (2021, 2024) and was twice selected to the Pro Bowl.

In his fifth season in 2024, Burrow posted one of the best statistical seasons by a QB in NFL history, leading the league and breaking Bengals team records in passing attempts (652), completions (460), passing yards (4918), and passing touchdowns (43).
